When a passenger who is standing and facing forward in a moving bus suddenly falls forward?


When a passenger who is standing and facing forward in a moving bus suddenly falls forward? When a bus stops suddenly, its passengers tend to fall forward because due to their inertia the passengers tend to remain in a state of motion even though the bus has come to rest.


When a person getting out of the moving bus falls in the direction of the motion of the bus?

A getting passenger getting down from a moving bus, falls in the direction of the motion of the bus. This is because his feet come to rest on touching the ground and the remaining body continues to move due to inertia of motion.


When a man gets down a running bus forward?

When a person alights from the bus, his body would try to continue moving in the direction the bus was moving due to inertia. But as soon as both the feet touches the ground, the lower part of the body comes to rest while the upper part gets carried away under the effect of inertia resulting into his forward fall.


When a bus suddenly moves forward a passenger gets thrown backward with a jerk?

EXPLANATION: When a bus suddenly starts moving, the passengers fall backward due to the law of inertia of rest or 1st law of Newton.


What motion is moving bus an example of?

So, this is an example of non-uniform motion. Was this answer helpful?


When a boy jumps out of a moving bus there is a danger for him to fall in the direction of motion?

The man jumping out from a moving bus possesses the inertia of motion. As the man lands on the gorund, feet come to rest immediately while the upper part of body continue to move due to inertia of motion and hence the person may fall forward.


Why do passengers in a moving train suddenly feel a jerk in the forward direction when the train stops abruptly?

This is due to inertia. When the speeding bus stops suddenly, lower part of the body comes to rest while the upper part of the body tends to maintain uniform motion. Hence, the passenger's are thrown forward.


Which law is a passenger in a moving bus is thrown forward?

The correct answer is Newton's first law. ?Newton's first law states that, if a body is at rest or moving at a constant speed in a straight line, it will remain at rest or keep moving in a straight line at constant speed unless it is acted upon by force. This postulate is known as the law of inertia.


Why do people jerk in buses when bus moves forward?

Because the lower part of the body comes to rest with the bus while the upper part tends to continue its motion due to inertia.
